The Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies have announced their game day 23 for their clash against the Queensland Reds on Saturday at Suncorp Stadium.
Eager to stay in the winners circle after their victory against the Melbourne Rebels in Round 2, coach Scott Fava has kept a similar squad to fly into enemy territory this Saturday.
Continuing their battle for the number 1 jersey, Sally Fuesaina has earned back her starting spot after a strong performance off the bench against the Rebels, this results in Allana Sikimeti lining up on the bench as she did in Round 1.
Following a season ending knee injury to Jay Huriwai, versatile back Kolora Lomani will find herself back at scrum-half to fill the injured Wallaroo's boots after proving herself in the position for 60 minutes against the Rebels.
Backing up Lomani from the bench will be Bonnie Brewer who is named to make her Super Rugby Women's debut as the scrum-half finally gets her opportunity, having recovered from a broken hand suffered in the trials.
